Other than this, the leaves are dried and processed in order to give them the dark shade. It is said that black tea contains exceptionally low caffeine content, which is great for circulation. Fluoride, which is found in black tea improves the oral and bone health. Black tea also contains flavonoids which are also found in apples.
